Let me say this about that. Since my retirement, Mrs. Shambo and I have made a habit of spending at least one month/yr. outside the United States. It’s fun, it’s exciting and it’s educational. Just like the man who can’t “see the forest for the trees”, you really need to get out of America once in […]
Let me say this about that. I have always found it interesting how people earn their living. There are great jobs, crappy jobs, well paid jobs, volunteer jobs, temporary jobs, illegal jobs, any number of ways an average person can ‘pay-the-rent’. So, in the interest of keeping the LMSTAT readership current on some of the more […]
Let me say this about that. On the whole, I believe many of America’s workers are under paid – based on the value they add, based on the profit they generate for their employer, based on the results they achieve. Conversely, I believe many Americans are grossly overpaid, based on the same criteria. If you […]
Let me say this about that. Did you ever stop to think what series of decisions led to where you are today? I don’t mean just geographically, but how you wound up in the job, the profession, the career in which you currently find yourself. I would wager that almost none of us actually planned […]
Let me say this about that. Yes, it’s true. LMSTAT has poked fun at the eccentricities of nearly all professions – doctors, lawyers, politicians, preachers, cops, businessmen, college professors … well, you name it. The one profession that has not been lampooned by LMSTAT is ‘Engineering’. It has been pointed out to me that, being a retired engineer, […]
Let me say this about that. The course of our lives often rests on the seemingly minute decisions we make every day. Change any one of these decisions, and our lives could turn out radically different. Or would we simply be the same person in a different environment? Take for example: Barack Obama, Bank Loan […]
Let me say this about that. Seems that in America we’ll do just about anything to get out of a day’s work. In order to soothe our guilt trip for being lazy, we have invented “holidays”. Our logic is that somehow it would be sacreligious, unpatriotic, or disrespectful to actually go to work on these days […]
Let me say this about that. Last week, I posted a blog announcing the winners of the 2009 “World’s Toughest Jobs” awards. The response to these awards has been tremendous and our loyal readers have asked that they be expanded. Further, our fans want to be an integral part of nominating – and – awarding excellence in […]
Let me say this about that. I keep hearing people whine about how tough their job is. They complain incessantly about long hours, poor workplace environment, even danger. Everyone cannot have THE toughest job, so I set out to find the “toughest job in the world” a couple of years ago. This list became so […]
